jc76, thanks for asking this question. Kishan at UCLA said that dry organism are something that take getting use to. And I was too timid to ask. They are common because the prostate produces fluid that propels sperm through the penis. Since we pretty much evicerate the prostate gland with radiation if we don't remove it, we might not have much recourse. I have read that some medications make it worse. And I read somewhere that they are having some success with stem cell implants in the prostate gland. I wanted to ask Kishan if they are painful or just not as pleasurable. I'll be looking for better responses than mine.
